Scottish Parliament New MSP Members Bar opening
3rd Sept 2012

Mark was honoured to be invited to the new Scottish parliament members bar and meet Margaret McDougall, one of the Members of the Scottish Parliament, in September. He is extremely proud that one of his most iconic sculptures has pride of place within the bar. A plaque on the wall of the bar honours Mark’s table and briefly describes the background to it “This table is inspired by the landing pod used in the first Moon landing in 1969. To make the piece, the designer visited NASA to view the original lunar landing pod and met with Buzz Aldrin along with Museums in Chicago and Washington. The glass is inscribed with Neil Armstrong’s famous statement made on 20 July 1969, “That is one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind.”

The architect designed the new MSP members bar around Mark's very special sculpture; the Apollo table is the first sculpture Mark designed and the Scottish Foundry cast it within their premises.

Before being placed in the members bar the piece was exhibited in cities around the world including London, Edinburgh, New York, Chicago, Washington, Las Vegas and Monaco to name just a few.

The sculpture that now sits in the Scottish Parliament contains a time capsule as well a specially designed piece of glass that serves as the table top.

The Scottish Connection

As well as the fact that the table was designed by a Scottish designer, the glass table top was made in Scotland and the bronze sculpture of the table was cast in a Scottish foundry, The Apollo 11 Sculpture has Scottish roots that run much deeper as well as an aviation connection. The late Neil Armstrong took a piece of Armstrong Tartan to the moon with him 1969, his grandfather came from the village of Langholm in the Scottish Borders, Neil Armstrong was presented Freedom of the Village of Langholm in 1972, three years after his lunar landing. The boys at the foundry that cast the Apollo Table mother’s maiden name is Armstrong & comes from the same village of Langholm. Buzz Aldrin's granny came from Edinburgh & her name was Moonie.

2011 Dyslexia Awareness Week.

Mark was asked to exhibit four of his bronze sculpted tables in the Central Library in Edinburgh, Scotland and to do a small presentation covering his life, his work and also living with Dyslexia.

Mark is proud to support the British Dyslexia Association, with dyslexia being a topic close to his heart he is keen to raise awareness of the condition. At the age of 13 Mark was introverted, withdrawn, had little confidence and all the different forms of dyslexia you can have. He left his home in Scotland to attend a special school in Sussex, England called ‘Brick Wall’. Never did he imagine that this school would be the turning point in his life! He spent 5 years being taught in a way that he could understand. Learning and developing, being treated with such care, kindness, trust and respect from the teachers as well as his fellow pupils, Mark found a self-belief and intelligence that he never knew possible!

At 18, Mark left with the confidence and desire to achieve and put his dyslexic symptoms to one side. It was at the age of 32, after returning home from a holiday in South Africa, that he was inspired by a vision of a hippo in the water; the rest is history.
